The following mailing was sent out by the BAA.

The BAA aims to support all amateur astronomers, whether members of the BAA or not. Our Sky Notes articles on what to look out for in the night sky are very popular. The Sky Notes for October and November have just been published in October’s BAA Journal and you can freely read them online on our website here: https://britastro.org/journal_item/8041

I hope you all enjoy reading it.
